Everything here is great! Can't wait to try it with the patio opening up as waits won't be as long...they used to have a bar called Sensers in Bloomington that catered to the sports crowd...this is like Sensers Jr in that it has TVS everywhere and great sports bar vibe but without douche bags and fights! Highly rec for a Sunday with the guys or a family night out ! read more

We've been here before, but I guess we've been sleeping on this place because we had a great recent visit on a Saturday afternoon. I want to go back! The restaurant itself has a nice style, but it has more of an open concept vibe. It can get loud indoors, especially if there's a sporting event on. That isn't necessarily a bad thing. It's a Taphouse, after all, but it's something to keep in mind if you're looking for a quieter restaurant. The staff has always been very nice. We've never had any issues with the service. We were starving, so we ordered quite a bit of food. We started with the crispy fried pickles. These are pretty dang great, and my wife described them as the "best fried pickles" she's ever had. I thought they were good too, but maybe not the best. You get a decent amount, a little expensive at $12. We decided to splurge on a second appetizer and ordered the jumbo bacon cheddar chive tots. These are absolutely amazing. "Heavenly" is probably the best way to describe them. I feel like I could eat 30 of these in one sitting because they're that good. They have to be some of the best jumbo tots I've ever had at a restaurant, and the house aioli makes them even better. They're $13, and while they're still a little expensive, you do get a good portion. They're good enough that I'd call them an absolute must order. My wife got the Spicy Honey Salmon Bowl and really liked it. Since it's salmon, it's obviously going to be a little more expensive, but I was impressed with the portion size. She even had leftovers to take home, and she said they reheated really well. I've been searching for the best Nashville hot chicken sandwich in the area, so I decided to order theirs. It's also available in a "Minnesota Nice" spice level, but I ordered the regular spice version. Overall, it was pretty good, but it's not the best Nashville hot chicken sandwich I've had. That said, it's probably one of the better ones in the area and MUCH MUCH better than Barley & Vine's version. I do wish it had been a little hotter because it really isn't that spicy. There's a little heat, but not much. As for the flavor of the sauce, I thought it was good, but I've definitely had better and I've certainly had worse. Overall, it's a solid sandwich, and I'd order it again. I got it with their fries and have no complaints there either. We sat outside since the weather was nice and really enjoyed the patio. The bugs were a little annoying, but there's only so much the restaurant can do about that. The service wasn't slow, but it also wasn't particularly fast. Our waitress was kind. Altogether, we ended up spending over $80 after tax and tip. It felt a little pricey, but we did order two appetizers, and my wife had salmon. There are definitely more affordable options on the menu, and considering what most restaurants are charging these days, I can't complain too much. One thing I can and will complain about, and it's partially why I deducted a star, is the 3% credit card fee. They're passing part of their overhead operating/processing costs on to the customer, on top of the higher menu prices we've all seen over the past few years. That's disappointing to see. All that said, I recommend this restaurant, and we'll definitely be back. The credit card processing fee is incredibly annoying, and while the Nashville hot chicken sandwich wasn't amazing, it was still good. The jumbo bacon cheddar chive tots are an absolute must order, and the staff has always been friendly. read more

Decided to give this place on Fathers Day and left unsatisfied. There is a large parking lot. There are also plenty of seating options (booth, table and chairs, patio, inside) patio is dog friendly :) The hostess was talking told other hostess when we first walked up and it felt like we were interrupting their chat time. We were brought out to the patio quickly but not friendly. Our waitress came over and was about the bare minimum. Wasn't really friendly. Just asked us what we wanted and wasn't even the one who brought it out. So the service here did not impress us. The ambiance inside looks cool. Very sports bar with a large bar to sit at. The patio has 2 sides. We were on the side closest to the parking lot. The umbrellas weren't really covering anyone. There was no real landscaping and earlier in the day(our waitress informed us) a sand bag broke. Instead of cleaning it up, they just left it. How embarrassing.... It just shows how much the management cares. It's Father's Day, everything should have top tier or at least cleaned up. The food here was above an Applebees but not by much. Overall this place is very average. read more

Northern Taphouse in Lakeville has a fun sporty atmosphere with lots of TVs and sports-inspired decor, making it feel like a good place to catch a game or hang out. There was music playing, but it was so loud that it was hard to even tell what songs were on or have a conversation comfortably at times. We started with the bacon cheddar chive tots, which had really good flavor, but some of them were cold in the middle which was disappointing. The turkey pretzel sandwich ended up being surprisingly really good and was probably the highlight of the meal for me. The quesadilla was also a huge portion and definitely felt more like a meal than an appetizer. Service was on the slower side during our visit. However, they made up for one issue by giving us a complimentary sundae when they ran out of the mini helmet dessert bowls, which was appreciated and a nice touch. Overall, a decent experience with some highs and lows. Good food overall, but there are a few things that could have been better. read more

We love eating at Northern Taphouse but our last takeout order had paper inside the sandwich which wasn't noticed until half the paper was already eaten. It looks like the paper on a cheese slice. I filled out a contact form immediately on their website and no one has followed up and it has been days. Super disappointed because I would like my money back for the order. read more

I've seen some buzz on social media about Northern Taphouse, particularly about their oversized and eclectic Bloody Mary! I kinda just assumed it was another "elevated" sports bar....but I couldn't have been more wrong...it's THE elevated sports bar of the Cities! Plenty of parking at this spot, although it gets busy during peak times! The space itself was jam packed with families, couples, and sports teams taking in the Friday night excitement. Plenty of TVs, clean and modern decor, and a 40 beer tap wall bring this space to life. We took advantage of the online wait-list to ensure we could walk right in and get a table! Our server, while a bit TOO present, was incredibly friendly, bubbly, and excited to show us the ropes on our first visit! We started with two of their rotating taps, which we were told 36 of the 40 taps rotate! Lovely diversity and there's surely something for everyone. We started our meal with the Dill Cheese Curds: a light, cheesy bite dipped in a fresh, crisp ranch! The French Onion Soup was piping hot and decadent with the strong flavor akin to its traditional preparation. The Walleye Tacos were delightful...perfectly fried, served on warm tortillas, with just enough toppings to compliment the sizeable fish portion. Paired with a large serving of waffle fries and seasoned sour cream. I went in with mediocre expectations, only to be blown away with top notch service, not a bad bite all night, and an eagerness to return soon! read more

Went here with my parents last weekend and will definitely return! Everything we tried was great - ahi tuna bites, the royal wagyu burger, crispy Brussels sprouts - and two September specials - a carne asada pizza and cocktail (pear necessities) Our server was Kyleigh who was very kind and and provided great service for us and some great recommendations I had sweet potato fries on the side with my burger with some ranch which was great 10/10 no notes - the burger was savory and juicy and delicious - the bacon on top was very unique with a bit of a hard and chewy texture with it being so thick but had remarkable flavor. read more

I thought this would be a very average place to eat. It was great! I am a vegan, my husband is a regular omnivore. We were both very happy with all of the food items we got. Dill pickle cheese curds were awesome. My husband liked his burger and for me it can be difficult to find a GOOD veggie burger. They're either dry, or bland. This was great! Not just a Morningstar Patty someone overcooked, The dessert wasn't just ordinary slice of cheese cake either!! It seemed homemade and even had pop rocks for the Fourth of July! read more

Had the chance to check out Northern Taphouse. The food was pretty mid. I tried the Nashville hot chicken sandwich and the Nashville hot mac and cheese, but neither had any real heat. The mac and cheese was very dry. More cheese and hot sauce would definitely make it better. Service was okay. It felt like Black folks don't visit here often based on the way people stared when I walked in, but that's Lakeville for you. Our server seemed cool, but I wouldn't go out of my way to visit again. There is a nice-sized parking lot and a decent amount of seating inside. read more

We came around 7:30 and were sat immediately! We had great service and everything came out super quickly. Our food was great and we took a lot home! We specifically came because it was dollar wing night so that was a great deal. They also had $5 20oz beers on Thursdays so that was a steal aswell. Over all great experience! Of course it is a tap house so the restaurant was relatively loud, but you could still hear table conversation. read more

Great service. Smash burger and steak salad were delish! I appreciated that the game was on but not too loud.

I stopped here for lunch after having a Colonoscopy and not eating for 3 days. My son or driver was along. We ordered dill cheese curds, barbecue boneless wings, Cuban sandwich and Nashville Hot Chicken sandwich for me. I removed the bun and it just was meh for me. Breaded but Nashville Hot Sauce was nasty. I've come to the conclusion that only good Nashville Hot Chicken is in Nashville. I'll be there the end of July. The server was nice, but I wish I ordered something else. We had lots of leftovers. read more

The bartender today could care less about any of the other customers at the bar. She only paid attention to one guest and ignored everyone els. We weren't greeted. She stood around texting, talking, and drinking her redbull. After 20 years in the industry I would never act like this. She was more concerned with the other staff than she was with the customers... I think her name was Eve? read more

We came here to celebrate for a birthday brunch and man, what a great experience! It was busy, but the staff seemed like a well oiled machine and we never found ourselves rushed, nor ignored or forgotten. We sat on the family side and honestly, I wasn't expecting this place to be too family friendly and was pleasantly surprised! There were a bunch of families on our side, and the other side was catered more for adults which I loved. We ordered a gauntlet of food including the dill pickle cheese curds (to die for), chicken and waffles, and the jalapeno bacon cheddar infused burger, breakfast tacos and a kids meal. Everything was 10/10 amazing. Of course I had to try the mini bloody mary sampler, also 10/10. Cannot wait to return and try the mimosa flight next! read more

We were hot, hungry, and tired from being outside for a while, so we stopped off here for drinks and snacks to help us through the afternoon. The vibe is very sports and gastropub, and though there were a lot of TVs on, the noise level was low and good. Service was great throughout our brief time there. We ordered the pretzel bites, brussels sprouts, and drinks; I was very happy to find cider on available. The food came out quickly and was delicious--it was just what we needed! The whole menu here looked great, too. I'd be happy to return at some point and have a full meal at this or another location. read more

I love Northern Tap House and haven't been to the Lakeville location in a while so since we were in the area we stopped in last night. Everything was so good from the Brussel sprouts to the grilled cheese! I tried the Indeed seasonal cream ale and it tasted a lot like a green shake from a big chain!

Had lunch here and was very satisfied. Unable to sample any adult beverages as it was a work lunch but the Arnie Palmer was exceptional. Great aromas are always a benefit of eating here. Our server was excellent and not overly doting. I had the mushroom Swiss burger with their homemade chips. Both were great! The other people with me had the BBQ sampler and the beef sandwich and they were reportedly wonderful as well. Nice beverage selections available. Nice patio area when things warm up outside. Need to visit here more often. read more

Excellent service, great ambiance, good drinks and healthy/vegetarian options. We go here at least once a week

Today I met a friend here for lunch and it was so wonderful! This was my first time experiencing Northern Tap house and the staff was friendly and so good at communicating! We ordered bloody Mary's and I decided to pick the fiery bloody. It had a great kick and I didn't think it was too spicy. The waitress was great at letting us know that it will take a bit for the drinks and it was worth the wait. I ordered the spicy honey salmon bowl for my meal and it was soooooooooo good! I will definitely come back for this item! It had so many amazing flavors and wasn't a super heavy meal. I highly recommend trying this!!! They had a great crowd for lunch and it wasn't loud. The decor was rustic and very cute! read more

One of our favorites in Lakeville! Great service and food is always great! Love the outdoor seating option too.

Had a great experience at Northern Taphouse this weekend! There is plenty of indoor and outdoor seating, and lots of TVs inside for watching sports. Our waitress was fantastic and gave helpful feedback on menu options. We started with the dill pickle curds, which were SO GOOD! The dipping sauce had a strong dill flavor, and it paired great with the cheese curds. I got a Bloody Mary and one of the monthly specials- a chicken Caesar wrap. Everything was delicious and I'd definitely order again! read more

Sports bar, ample parking, family oriented with tons of TV's and no sound. So you can watch but enjoy the atmosphere. Hostess stand greeted right away and fortunate to have booth open. Exterior patio area not open but filled with many tables and sofas plus pergola and string lighting, planters, etc. I could imagine it beautiful with wooded background from lot in summer months. Plenty of windows in bar. We went for the Bloody Nary menu primarily because they are astounding either plain or piled high with food and several types from mild to spiced and a variety of attached food items. I had Bourbon wings and my daughter had tacos. Beer battered fries tasty but could have been hotter. Service great and prices good. My Bloody Mary $22 and delicious made with flavored pickle flavored vodka, stacked high with skewers deep fried pickles, glazed chicken wings, sausage stick, pickle, green bean and cheese. They have larger ones with burger attached. Very good and almost a meal by itself! A good menu with variety of appetizers, salad, burgers, bone in or boneless wings delicious ...assorted sides, Mac& cheese, grilled cheese- tomato soup combo and much more! A good experience for $68 with drinks included. A mix of families, singles at bar, couples, construction crews, people stopping after work and seniors all having a good time. read more

Here for the Bloody Mary's. What a great place for brunch or anytime. Service is quick and atmosphere welcoming.

Northern Tap used to be more consistent food wise and also got rid of what I know was a very popular drink.

Incredible food, amazing service!! It's always a fun atmosphere and their monthly specials are always top notch!

Disappointing. Stick to what they know. Burgers pizza and wings. My husband ordered the Cubano and it was terrible. The onion straws (who puts onion straws in a Cubano?) completely overwhelmed the sandwich. My burger was great. The French fries arrived on the cool side. I like mine hot. Good selection of beers. read more
